TURBINE.

. Specification of Letters Patent.

Patented Mar. 8, 191).

Application filed January 15, 1909. Serial No. 472,527.

To alt whom 'it may concern:

Be it known that I, HENRY F. IVEINLAND, a citizen of the United States, residing at Springfield, in the county of Clark and State of Ohio, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Turbines, of which the following is a specification, reference being had therein to the accompanying drawings.

My invention relates to turbines for driving tube cleaners and more particularly to a turbine that is carried through the tube with the cleaner although it may be used for other purposes.

The object of myinvention is to providey an improved turbine of this class, simple in construction, strong and durable, of few parts, easily assembled and readily taken apart. y

With these and other objects in view my invention consists of the constructions and combinations hereinafter described and set forth in the claims.

In the accompanying drawings Figure 1 is a longitudinal section of a turbine enibodying my invention, Fig. 2 is a front end view of same, Fig. 3 is a cross section on the line X X of Fig. 1. Fig. 4 is a frag ment of the ported head and runner show ing the inclined ports of the head and curved buckets of the runner, Fig. 5 is a longitudinal section of the ported head, Fig. 6 is a longitudinal section of the supply head into which the ported head is secured and Fig. 7 is a front end view of the ported head.

In the drawings 1 represents a casing and 2 a supply head, said head preferably having a reduced portion 3 to which the casing is threaded with its end abutting the shoulder 4 of the head as particularly shown in Fig. 1. Said supply head is further provided with a forwardly projecting cylindrical portion 5, screw threaded at 6 to receive and secure a ported head 7. This ported head I preferably form separate from the projecting cylinder of the supply head and removably secure the same therein as shown for convenience in forming the ports in said head. The ported head has a longitudinal screw threaded portion at 8 and is outwardly inclined at 9. Ports 10 may be formed in the casting but I preferably form them by drilling radial holes Vor recesses from the outside inthe forward end of the at 12 to correspond with the inclination 9 of` the ported head to forni the outer wall of the ports 10; and I further preferably provide the ported head with a rearwardly eX- tending cone shaped projection 13 which eX- tends into the supply chamber 14 and guides the motive agent to the ports 10. The supply hose can be coupled to the screw threaded portion l5 of the supply head.

A runner 16 having a rearwardly extending cylindrical portion 17 is j ournaled in the casing 1, a bushing 18 being preferably employed to form the bearing therefor. Said bushing 18 is interposed between a shoulder 19 on the casing and a shoulder 2Oy on the cylindrical projection of the runner to form a thrust bearing to take the forward thrust of the runner, and rings or washers 21 are preferably employed between .the shoulder 1,9 and the bushing to take up the wear. l/Vithin a recess of the runner a hardened plate 23 is sea-ted and. bears against a similar plate 24 seated in a recess 25 of the ported head to take the rearward thrust of the runner; and conduits 26 through the runner relieve said bearing of any water or other motive agent that may accumulate about it. Buckets 27 ext-end from the rear of the runner forwardly and outwardly therethrough; and said buckets are curved and register with the ports 10 of the ported head as particularly shown in Fig. 4. A screw threaded opening 28 in the runner is adapted to secure the cleaner or tool to be driven.

Having thus described my invention I claim:

1. In a turbine the combination of a casing having an Open end, a supply head .and runner, said runner being journaled peripherally in the casing with a free discharge at the open end of the casing, substantially as described.

2. In a turbine the combination of a supply head having a forwardly projecting cy lindrical portion with a closed end and ports therethrough, a runner with a rearwardly extending cylindrical portion and a casing forming an elongated bearing for` said runner, substantially as described.

3. In a turbine the combination of a supply head having a forwardly projecting reduced cylindrical portion with a closed end and ports therethrough, a runner with a rearwardly extending cylindrical portion and a casing forming an elongated bearing for said runner, said casing being secured to the supply head, substantially as described.

4. In a turbine the combination of a supply head having a forwardly projecting cylindrical portion with a transverse wall and ports therethrough, a runner with a rearwardly extending cylindrical portion and a casing forming a bearing for said runner, substantially as described.

5. In a turbine the combination of a casing, a runner and a supply head having a supply opening therethrough with a remov able ported portion peripherally secured therein to supply the motive agent to the runner, the ports being formed from the outside in said portion and the wall of said opening forming the outer walls of said ports, substantially as described.

6. In a turbine the combination of a casing, a runner and a supply head having an integral hollow projecting cylindrical portion with a removable ported portion peripherally secured therein to supply the mo tive agent to the runner, the ports being formed from the outside thereof and the cylindrical portion forming the outer walls of said ports, substantially as described.

7. In a turbine the combination of a supply head having a forwardly extending cylindrical portion, a ported head removably secured in said cylindrical portion, a runner with a rearwardly extending cylindrical portion and a casing forming a bearing for said runner, substantially as described.

8. In a turbine the combination of a supply head having a forwardly projecting cylindrical portion, a ported head secured in said cylindrical portion, the ports being formed from the outside in said head, the outer walls of said ports being closed by said cylindrical portion of the supply head, a runner with a rearwardly extending cylindrical portion and a casing forming a bearing for said runner, substantially as described.

9. In a turbine the combination of a supply head having a forwardly projecting cylindrical portion, a ported head secured in said cylindrical portion, the ports being niachined in said head from the outside at an inclination to the axis of the turbine, the outer sides of said ports being closed by the forwardly projecting cylindrical portion of the supply head, a runner with a rearwardly extending cylindrical portion and a casing forming an elongated peripheral bearing for said runner, substantially as described.

l0. In a turbine the combination of a casing, a runner and a supply head having an integral hollow projecting cylindrical )ortion formino` a sum1 f' chamber with ay l e removable ported portion peripherally secured therein having a projection extending into said chamber adapted to guide the 1no tive agent to said ports, the ports being formed from the outside of said ported portion and the cylindrical portion forming the outer wall of said ports, substantially as described.

ll.
